IMPROVEMENT IN GLAZED PLAID PAPER.

' Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 176,232, dated April18, 1876; application filed February 21, 1876.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J OHN F. MARSH, of Springfield, in the county ofHam'pden and State of" Massachusetts, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Manufacturing Glazed Plaid Paper, of which the followingis a specification:

In the accompanying drawing, Figures 1 and 2 represent top views of thecoated and of the ruled and glazed-plaid paper to represent my improvedmode of manufacturing glazed plaid paper.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The invention has reference to the manufacture of that class of glazedplaid paper known as plaidpaper, sothat the same may be made .in a moreperfect and finished manner; and the invention consists in the method ofcoating, ruling, and glazing the paper by consecutive operations? Thepaper A is first coated with a preparation-such as is used ordinarily inmaking glazed plaid paper. This preparation or coating is made invarious Ways, and of any suitable color or tint. The paper is thenruled, either by hand 01' by means of ruling-machines used by blank-bookmanufacturers, by being passed either in sheets or in continuous rollson a movable bed under the rulingpens, of which as many rows are used asthere are numbers of colors; or the paper may be stationary and the pensmovable, as desired. The lines B may be drawn diagonally, straight, orirregularly across the paper, and crossed by transverse lines ruled inthe same way, so as to produce an almost infinite variety of square,diamond. and other designs on the paper. The various lines may also beproduced by means of an ordinary printing-press. After the paper hasbeen ruled it is glazed in the usual way by the use of a stone or flintpassing over it, or by means of a friction-calender, so as to producethe smooth and polished surface.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

The method herein described of manufacturing glazed plaid paper,consisting of the following steps consecutively performed, viz., coatingthe paper with an ordinary glazing preparation, ruling the glazedsurface in suitable colors and designs, and finishing or glazing thecoated and ruled surface bypolishing or pressing the same, as and forthe purpose set forth.
